That's more or less what I do. I'm curious, and will have to look, but wonder if the thumb could be pushed out further with a hydraulic arm than with the fixed arm? One of the problems I have is grabbing smaller logs where it can be difficult to grab them without the bucket catching dirt. If the thumb could be pushed out further to meet the bucket (well, log actually) that would help - so probably not as much of having them move in tandem as much as getting a little further thumb grab. I think that would take some study - to get the right length hydraulic piston to get the thumb to close up well, yet extend out as far as possible.
